YOUTH: United face Accrington this weekend

5 April 2024

Mark Birch's side host Accrington Stanley in their penultimate home fixture of the season on Saturday.

A late goal from Dan Hopper saw the under-18s defeat Walsall 1-0 on Tuesday.

The return to winning ways saw the Blues move to ninth in the league on 26 points after 23 games, with eight wins this season.

The visitors on Saturday: Accrington Stanley

Accrington occupy fifth place in the Youth Alliance League on 37 points after 21 games. This season, they have won on 12 occasions, whilst drawing once and losing the eight other games.

Last weekend, Accrington Stanley defeated Port Vale 5-4 away from home recording their first win in seven matches.

Prior to the victory over Port Vale, the visitors had lost their last six games against Blackpool, Wrexham, Preston North End, Bolton Wanderers, Rochdale and Salford, despite winning eight games in a row before the run of defeats.

In the reverse fixture in November, United were on the end of a 3-2 defeat in Lancashire with Freddie O'Donoghue scoring both of our goals.

Kick-off is at 11am on Saturday at Creighton Rugby Club (CA1 3SR).

All supporters are welcome to come down and get behind the lads.
